I think it depends on how close you are with the people who the showers are for. If they are casual friends/family members you don't see much, don't go. If it is for your best friend, sister etc., I think you need to go even though it will be difficult

No! I don't expect my best friend, nor the people I love to put on a brave face for a shower. That's crazy!!! [/quote]

I find your post offensive.  My sister, who I am close with, is having a baby shower.  I feel that it will make me sad to go due to my own secondary infertility issues, but I think, at least for me, it is the right thing to do to go.  I want the day to be about her, and I'm going to have to manage my sadness.  If someone else makes a different choice, that is fine, but I don't think it is right to call people "crazy" if they choose to "put on a brave face" to support their family member.[/quote]

But it is your decision. PP is not saying you're crazy to go. She is saying it's crazy for someone in your sister's position to EXPECT you to suck it up and go. [/quote]
